Your main reason versus mine for self protection only differs in that you're a sworn officer. I know most off duty LEOs are carrying concealed to "protect" themselves. But really how is that different from a normal citizen especially inside a vehicle? Don't you think since most criminals know it's illegal to carry a gun in a car. The carjacking success rate just went through the roof?
Ironically, all LEOs approach a vehicle standing on the other side of that logic. They approach it as if its armed even though we have these laws that are meant to protect LEOs ONLY. See how effective this law is at preventing crime?
How about this, I'll sign up and take all the defensive pistol tactics gunsite offers beyond even what LEOs are trained in. So then should I be denied my natural right to protect myself or carry concealed even when I know what I am doing? I'll take the chance of a misdemeanor vs. running into a thug anyday especially in Oakland.
